September is the month where Steep Rock Association likes to thank our donors and greater community for their support during the year. And what a year 2020 has been! While we’ve had to scale back programs and cancel some events, we still want to say Thank You! Please join us Saturday, September 12th at the Riding Ring at Steep Rock Preserve (12 noon-2pm) for a “picnic” lunch on us. We’re offering drive-thru only, pick-up lunch bag with lots of goodies. It’s not our traditional annual picnic, but we still think it’s very important to show our support for the Washington community that we call home. In addition, we are resuming some of our fall hikes, programs, and other activities in accordance with health and safety guidelines. We hope to see you Saturday. And thank you for supporting our efforts to protect the ecology of the Shepaug River Valley. See you soon!

Judea Garden Interns
The staff and volunteers of Judea Garden thank our interns, Bella Cotier and Matt Gosselin, for a fantastic summer. From growing to distribution, we could not have done it without you! Not to mention teaching us about composting!
Thank you!
Judea Garden Needs Tools!
Judea Garden needs gardening tools! If you have any extra garden equipment that’s in good shape, please come by Macricostas Preserve and drop them off in our new Tool Drop-Off Box!
Please no holes or bad connections in hoses, no broken handles, and nothing really rusty. Email Denise Arturti with any questions (denise.arturi@steeprockassoc.org) Thanks!
Right now we really need: hand tools, long-handled tools (not leaf rakes), clippers/loppers, hoses, soaker hoses, spray nozzles.
